A serious collection with many stand-alone examples, we have the ultimate Toronto Maple Leafs signed photo collection, with 53 total signed photos, including 13 from HOFers, plus an additional 51 photos! Loaded with magnificent specimens, we have an impressive gathering of Leafs photos, with most either 6 ½” x 8 ½” or 8” x 10”, with the smaller examples mounted to 8” x 10” backings. HOF signers include Horton, Broda, Primeau, Drillon, Lumley (2), Duff, Pilote, Apps, Flaman, Watson, Pratt and Max Bentley. A number of the photos are personalized to Leafs trainer Murray “Torchy” Schell (including the Horton), adding important provenance, with other signers to include James, Regan, Baun, Olmstead, Klukay, Rollins, Gardner and more. The additional 51 unsigned photos include team-issued and media examples, with a number of wonderful Leafs images.

The majority of the photos have been signed in ballpoint with no modern markers or sharpies, with the photos themselves showing moderate wear with the odd crease or dinged corner along with some toning. The Horton is made out to “Torchy”, with “Best Wishes” added, with the signature a wonderful bold example, while the Broda has also been made out to Torchy, with the full signature of “Walter ‘Turk’ Broda” utilized. Other signed photos in the collection include examples from Gamble, Migay, Douglas, Nesterenko, Sloan, Aldcorn, Balfour, Bailey, Wilson, Nevin, Jeffrey, McKenney, Walton, Solinger, Litzenberger, Mikol, Douglas, Palmateer, Jones, Maloney, McKechnie, Lewicki, Thomson, Lynn, Mortson, Mackell, Sid Smith, Brian Conacher and a few others. We even have a signed photo from 1960s Leafs trainer Bob Haggart. Other highlights within the collection include a candid dressing room shot of Frank Mahovlich signing for a youngster, a second dressing room shot showing the Leafs jerseys hanging with pride and a photo that shows an injured George Armstrong being helped by the trainer. Some of the unsigned vintage player photos include examples of Bill Barilko, Frank McCool and Sweeney Schriner.

Auction Rules

IMPORTANT BIDDING RULES AND CONDITIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE BIDDING

19.5% buyer’s premium - all bidding done in US funds

VERY IMPORTANT:

Due to size constraints and the cost factor in the print version of most catalogs, we are unable to include all pictures on every single lot in the auction. However, our website has no limitations, so we have added many more photos and information on virtually most of the items on our website. (www.classicauctions.net)

REGISTRATION:

Customers who have already registered in the past do not need to do so again. Usernames and passwords will remain valid. Customers who have forgotten their passwords should simply contact us by phone or by email. You may register online at www.classicauctions.net or by phone at (450) 638-7058. New bidders are required to register before Monday, November 5th, 2018.

BIDDING STARTS NOW:

You may begin bidding as soon as you receive your catalog. Phone bids will be accepted at (450) 638-7058 Monday through Friday between the hours of 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM. On the final week of the auction, the office hours will be increased for your convenience.

BUYER'S PREMIUM:

The bid amounts placed in this sale at www.classicauctions.net are also referred to as the hammer prices. A Buyer’s Premium will be added to the winning bid (the hammer price) and is payable by the purchaser as part of the total purchase price. The Buyer’s Premium for the auction will be 19.5% if payment is made by cashier’s check, bank draft, certified check, money order, wire transfer, cash, or by Visa or MasterCard credit card up to $7,500 CAN / US for returning customers only, within 14 days of the date of invoice.

AUCTION CLOSING:

The final day of bidding for this entire auction is Tuesday, November 6th, 2018. The initial bidding period will close at 9:00 PM (Eastern Standard Time) on Tuesday, November 6th, 2018.

You must place an initial bid on an item before 9:00 PM on auction closing night to be eligible to bid on that item during the extended bidding period that starts at 9:00 PM. This means that if you have not bid on a particular lot before 9:00 PM you may not bid on that lot after 9:00 PM. Therefore, if you are the only bidder on a lot at 9:00 PM you will be instantly declared the winner. After 9:00 PM, the auction will continue until the bids stop coming in for 5 minutes. This rule applies to the entire auction and to all the lots. In other words, all lots will remain opened for as long as a bid has been placed on any item and all the lots will close at the same time.

Only the application of the 5 minute rule will determine the time of closing. During the extended bidding period, all new bids reset the auction countdown to 5 minutes. The auction ends when no new bids are entered for a full 5 minutes. Our auctions generally go on well into the night, if you do not want to stay up late please refer to “placing absentee bids” paragraph.

ABSENTEE BIDS:

We encourage early and absentee bidding if you are unable to bid by phone or internet and do not want to stay up late on the final day of the auction. Absentee bids can be left on our web site at classicauctions.net. We at Classic Auctions Inc. will place bids on your behalf up to these amounts only as they are bid against competitively by other bidders. All absentee bids will be treated on a first in, first served basis. If we receive two absentee bids of the same amount, the first one received will be the standing bid. For example, assume you have the current high bid at $5,000 and you have placed an absentee bid of $10,000. If another bid comes in ($6,000), your absentee bid will automatically kick in and raise the high bid to $6,600. This will continue until your absentee bid has been outbid. If there are no other bids, you will win the lot for $6,600, plus buyer’s premium. A 19.5% buyer’s premium will be added to all winning bids. All absentee bidding will remain confidential.

BIDDING INCREMENTS:

Items will be sold to the highest bidder. Bids can be no lower than the "RESERVE" or minimum bid (in US funds) listed in this catalog. The current high bid must be raised by a 10% increment. Classic Auctions Inc. reserves the right to accept or refuse any or all bids. By placing a bid in this auction, the bidder confirms the acceptance of all the rules and conditions of sale as mentioned here. Classic Auctions Inc. record of final sale shall be conclusive.

CALL BACKS:

Classic Auctions Inc. will be offering a call back service to the bidders in this historical hockey memorabilia auction. You can request a "call back" on any lots that you have bid on. If your bid has been topped, we will give you a call to let you know. IMPORTANT: We cannot guarantee that we will call you back because of the hectic nature of this auction. Please check on your items regularly if you want to be 100% sure. We also suggest that you use the absentee bid as a further assurance that your bids are protected. Make sure you leave us the correct information on how to reach you for the call backs that will begin at 9:00 PM of the closing date.

WINNING BIDS AND SHIPPING:

A 19.5% buyer’s premium will be added to each piece on your invoice. Winning bidders are responsible for the shipping and handling costs which include shipping, packing and materials.

All items will be accompanied with a 10-day return policy which is only valid if the description of the item was not proper. We recommend that you ask all the important questions on the items before the final auction date to eliminate all risks of conflicts. Once again, returns will only be accepted if the merchandise received does not correspond to our description and for no other reason. Auctioneer shall not be liable for breakage of glass or damage to frames (patent or latent); such defects, in any event, shall not be a basis for any claim for return or reduction in purchase price. Title shall not pass to the successful Bidder until all invoices are paid in full. It is the responsibility of the buyer to provide adequate insurance coverage for the items once they have been delivered to a common carrier or third-party shipper.
